This is a manifest of people not being consistent, but just use mirrorOf * to catch them. I don't see url being a whole lot easier because then if the url changes, you're back in the same game.

Why not URL ? Hi, The <mirrorOf> settings.xml element uses repository ID to match mirrors from projetcs <reposiroties>. Just to match codehaus shapshot repository, I have to declare <mirrorOf>snapshot.codehaus,codehaus.shapshot,codehaus-shapshot,Codehaus Snapshots</mirrorOf> ... and maybe I still miss some variants Why do we use ID to match repos, and not URL ? Can we extend the mirroring feature to also look for URL matching in a future version ?
